The park, water Puppets and the Circle Sportif There is a park behind Reunification Palace, which used to be the Presidential Palace. In the Park is the Circle Sportif> The Circle Sportif was a club for the elite of French Saigon Society. There were Tennis Courts, Lawn Bowling, A restaurant and a Swimming Pool. This was a place for Officers during the American War. Now it is a public place. In one section of the building is a cultural center where there were people singing. I looked in and a man came and invited me in to see the performance. In another section of the building is the Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theater.

Hence the giraffe (and ram?) and dancing lions (popular in any festival). they were a few months early, but that never stopped BVM or maybe not

Boingo,This particular reenactment of the Children's Mid Autumn Festival is on or near July 23, so it is not exactly autumn in Vietnam. However, that would not stop Bertram van Munster if he wanted to stage it for the benefit of AR15 viewers.
